SELECTION NOTE — RITACUBA16N CENTRIFUGE CONFIGURATION
RITACUBA16N high-speed microcentrifuge for flexible laboratory tube formats
The RITACUBA16N high-speed microcentrifuge is a strong choice when a laboratory needs one compact ambient centrifuge platform for multiple sample formats. The rotor range covers 12, 24, 36 and 48-place microtube configurations, as well as rotors for 5 ml, 10 ml, 15 ml and 50 ml tube formats.
When selecting the final configuration, the first step is the tube format: nominal tube volume, bottom geometry, cap type, sample volume and tube manufacturer limits. The second step is the target RCF, required throughput and allowed run time under ambient laboratory conditions. Maximum centrifuge performance depends on the selected rotor, compatible adapters, correct balancing and the rated limits of the consumables used in the method.
For routine laboratory use, COLO can help match the rotor and adapter set to PCR tubes, microcentrifuge tubes, conical tubes, round-bottom tubes or 50 ml formats, with attention to speed, RCF, throughput, sample heat load and SOP requirements.

Rotor auto-ID helps reduce the risk of selecting an incorrect rotor profile and supports safer configuration of repeated routines.
Soft start / stop control
10 acceleration and 10 deceleration levels help adapt the run profile to more sensitive sample types and reduce unwanted disturbance during braking.
Stored programs
99 user-defined programs support repeated centrifugation routines with consistent speed, RCF, time and acceleration / deceleration settings.

COLO.SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT
Rotor selection support for ambient high-speed centrifugation workflows
COLO.Science supports centrifuge selection by matching tube format, sample volume, required RCF, rotor capacity, balancing requirements, ambient laboratory conditions and routine laboratory SOP.
Applications and operational value
Molecular biology
RITACUBA16N supports high-speed processing of common tube formats used in nucleic acid, protein and small-volume laboratory workflows.
PCR laboratories
Stored methods, instant centrifugation and compact benchtop footprint support repeated daily routines in PCR and molecular testing laboratories.
Bacterial separation
Rotor-dependent tube support and high RCF performance make the platform suitable for routine bacterial separation and sample preparation tasks.
Multi-format laboratory use
Eight compatible rotors allow one centrifuge platform to support microtubes, round-bottom tubes, conical tubes and larger 50 ml formats.
How to select the appropriate RITACUBA16N rotor configuration
Rotor selection should start with the tube, not only with maximum speed. Confirm the nominal tube volume, tube bottom geometry, cap design, maximum fill volume, rated tube speed / RCF and whether an adapter is required. After the tube format is confirmed, compare rotor capacity, maximum speed, maximum RCF and required throughput.
For ambient centrifugation workflows, define the expected run time, sample load, target RCF and laboratory temperature conditions. For sensitive samples, 10 acceleration and 10 deceleration levels can help adapt the start / stop behavior. All rotor configurations must be loaded symmetrically and operated according to the laboratory SOP and the consumable manufacturer’s rated limits.
Compact high-speed centrifuge platform with eight rotor options
The RITACUBA16N high-speed microcentrifuge is practical for laboratories that need a compact benchtop high-speed centrifuge for routine sample preparation. Its desktop structure, 5-inch touch screen, automatic rotor identification, NCP composite rotor platform and 99 stored programs support routine use in PCR, molecular biology, molecular chemistry and laboratory sample preparation environments.
The broad rotor range is the main configuration advantage. Laboratories can select microtube rotors for high-speed small-volume work, higher-throughput microtube rotors for repeated daily processing, and larger tube rotors for 5 ml, 10 ml, 15 ml or 50 ml formats. Final rotor choice should always be aligned with sample volume, required RCF, tube limits, ambient operating conditions and balancing rules.
